On December 10th, I defended my master's thesis, “The Ecological Dynamics of Decision-Making in Judo," at the Faculty of Human Kinetics. I am grateful to my family, friends, colleagues at @spertlab, and Professor @Duarterbparaujo for their support and inspiration.

Honored to join discuss how adaptable decision-making in combat sports can be shaped through practice—grounded in cutting-edge ecological dynamics research in judo at @spertlab. Grateful for the invite, @TylerYearby. Excited to share and learn!

Today on @Progressaofi, a special guest! Insightful. Challenging. Impactful. What’s the future of performance analysis? @Daniel_JCarrilh breaks it down. Don’t miss it – tune in now! 🎙️🔥 Thank you, Daniel!

Ontem, dia 23 de janeiro, a FMH comemorou o seu 85.º Aniversário. Parabéns! 🎂🎉

It was wonderful to talk to the National coaches, and technical staff of the Singapure Sports. the discussion was the best part!!

On 21 October, SpertLab hosted a seminar in collaboration with the Neuroscience Laboratory of the Colombian Olympic Committee (COC) - Ministry of Sport of Colombia. The seminar showcased cutting-edge research at the intersection of neuroscience, psychology, and sports expertise.

Manrique will be conducting his research internship at SpertLab until December, contributing to understanding how constraints-based methods can improve racket sports training.

@Duarterbparaujo co-authored a commentary about wayfinding, exploring it as a dynamic, reciprocal process of perception and action distributed across the organism and environment, published in Psychological Research. Read here: https://t.co/U2lwEc6pyO

Between 17 and 29 September, Paulo Tibério Saveca, professor at Escola Superior de Ciências do Desporto, Universidade Eduardo Mondlane, Mozambique, visited SpertLab to begin his postdoctoral research.

In an independent analysis using the Scopus database, John Ioannidis (Stanford University, USA) published a standardized analysis with information about the top 2% of researchers worldwide. The study examined the researchers' impact throughout their careers and, in 2023.

@Duarterbparaujo, director of @spertlab and coordinator of @ciper_fmh, was recently awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award in Movement & Skill Acquisition 2024 by @EMERGENTMVMT.

Paris 2024 foi a melhor participação da história de Portugal em Jogos Olímpicos 🥉🥈🥈🥇

I had the pleasure of collaborating with and learning from @Henriquemsbrito throughout his exemplary and innovative PhD, which revealed that human performance is task- and environment-specific. On to new projects!

Fantastic keynote from Duarte Araujo (@Duarterbparaujo) to begin Day 4 discussing on perception-action affordances and ecological dynamics in sport performance 🤩

Today saw the end of the 3rd edition of the postgraduate course "Technologies and Data Analysis in Sport". It's been two weeks of intense work on data processing, analysis and visualization in sport! It's a pleasure to have accompanied another edition. See you next year!

Between 17 and 19 June, David Farrokh, from Sheffield Hallam University, UK, visited SpertLab. His research focuses on explaining flow using the ecological dynamics approach by measuring multi-scale dynamics in 1vs1 in football.
